Origin of Life; Cell structure/function; Mitosis

AB
AerobicMeans oxygen is needed.
AnaphaseChromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.
BiogenesisAll life comes from pre-existing life
CellBasic structural and functional unit of life; building block of all living things
Cellulartype of respiration which takes place in mitochondria
Cell wallsurround plant cells
Centromerestructure which holds duplicated chromosomes together.
CheekCells you looked at in lab that do not have a cell wall.
ChemicalEvolution which probably gave rise to life
ChloroplastsGreen plastids in which photosynthesis occurs.
ChromoplastsGive color to flowers
ChromosomesPackages of genetic information found in pairs; composed of DNA
Cytokinesisdivision of the cytoplasm into two cells; usually follows mitosis
Cytologystudy of cells
CytoplasmLiving jelly-like material.
Cytoskeletonprovides support; maintains the shape of the cell
Daughteridentical cells; result from mitosis.
DNATwisted ladder
ERTransport system
EukaryoticCells that have membrane around nucleus and organelles.
GolgiPackages and modifies substance in the cell
Growthincrease in number and size of cells
InterphaseCell grows and chromosomes duplicate.
IntraMeans inside.
LeucoplastsColorless plastids which function to store starch
Lysosomessmall sacs of digestive enzymes; "suicide bags"
Membranesurrounds every cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell
MetaphaseChromosomes line up in the middle of the spindle fibers.
MitochondriaSite or place where energy is made in a cell; "power plant" of the cell
Mitosisnuclear division that results in two identical cells.
NucleolusFunctions in synthesis of RNA.
NucleusBrain
OnionSlide you made in lab in which cells look like "bricks on a wall".
OrganellesStructures which perform important functions inside a cell; "little organs"
Oxygensubstance lacking in primitive atmosphere
ProphaseStage of mitosis in which spindle fibers form; chromosomes become visible
Replicationduplication of chromosomes
RibosomesSite of protein synthesis.
Semipermeablenly selected substances can pass through the membrane
TelophaseMembranes form around the two sets of chromosomes and two daughter cells are formed.
Chemoautotrophuses chemicals in the environment to produce energy
Heterotrophyobtains energy from eating other organisms or materials
Anaerobicdoes not need oxygen to survive; without oxygen
Roughtype of endoplasmic reticulum which has ribosomes and makes proteins
Smoothtype of endoplasmic reticulum; lipid synthesis; no ribosomes
Ribosomessite of protein synthesis; may be attached to ER or just in cytoplasm
